Asia Pacific [region] Head Office


Explanation:
Throughout your text, you will have to decide on this direction business. It can be:

Main Office
Head Office
[sales] Headquarters
or some other term....

cheers

It depends on what they already use. I would check that out before deciding on this or that term. They may be completely creative for all I know.

Explanation:
they refer to "en filiale", I feel not all of these have to be geographic areas.

Direction Commerciale France?
Direction Commerciale Europe?
Direction des Opérations Internationales?
North & Latin America
Amérique du Sud Pacifique?

Given the reference to AmLat-Nord, I'm particularly confident ASP is Amérique du Sud + something, and the Pacific is right next door.
